Urology & Nephrology
Our mission is to educate the CNU community about what it looks like to work in urology and nephrology, such that students have a better idea about what the field has to offer. By exposing them to the field prior to clerkships, the Urology and Nephrology SIG can help students make a more informed decision about whether to consider the fields as a future speciality. We hold casual talks with community urologists and nephrologists, partake in joint-SIG workshops to mimic surgical procedures, and meet with upperclassmen to discuss their [successful] road toward residency programs in these fields.
Goals and objectives for 2023-2024:
Let students have a chance to hear from Urologists/Nephrologists through talks so they can learn more about the field and ask questions.
Hold workshops going over common procedures in the two fields.
Provide information sessions on the trek to become a Nephrologist/ Urologist.
